Chapter 12 When Elaine first came back home , she had a serious rebellious streak .
She got into fights and hung out with punks just to grab the attention of her real siblings and parents .
But instead of endearing her to them , her delinquent girl label just brought shame and disgust , making them lean even more toward Bianca , who seemed to have it all together .
During Elaines first year back , things got pretty heated between her and Bianca , turning the household into a nonstop bickering zone .
Tracy couldnt stand Elaine , believing she was the one stirring up the chaos and keeping everyone on edge , and that dislike just grew day by day .
It seemed really unfair that her brothers and Tracy blamed Elaine entirely for her clashes with Bianca .
They were so overprotective of Bianca that it was as if they were terrified she might get hurt Elaine had long dealt with feelings of obsession and jealousy regarding her brothers and their mothers favoritism .
But now , she felt completely detached from them like they had drained all her emotions and attachments , leaving her indifferent to their feelings .
Out of nowhere , Elaine splashed her water on the table and said coolly , Can you just drink your water and be quiet for a minute ? Tracy was caught off guard by her tone and felt that familiar irritation rising up , but the look in Elaines eyes stopped her from saying anything .
Bianca casually asked , Hey , where are Tucker and Trevon ? I havent seen them around .
Oh , they went to help pick vegetables in the field , Elaine replied .
Picking vegetables ? Bianca was shocked .
She couldnt picture her pampered brothers ever doing something like that .
Elaine , why are y are you making them pick vegetables ? Theyve never done anything this rough before ! Isnt that a bit much ? she asked .
Bianca had a knack for seeming thoughtful while really just trying to provoke .
If Elaine hadnt been clued in on Biancas game , she might have thought that her sister was genuinely concerned about their brothers .
Tracy frowned , clearly agreeing with what Bianca had said .
She snapped , Its no surprise your brothers never liked you .
You totally brought it on yourself with your cold heart There was a flash of disappointment in her eyes .
As a mother , Tracy believed Elaine wasnt just inferior to Bianca .
She was completely thoughtless .
Elaine smirked a bit and said lightly , Oh sure , its all on me , right ? If I hadnt been switched at birth with some kid from a poor family , your precious Bianca wouldve known what its like to struggle .
She wouldnt get all the perks that these brothers enjoy .
This all happened because I let it slide , yet you still cant appreciate what youve got .
How can you blame me for this ? And honestly , as my blood related mother , father , and brothers , Im appalled by how you guys shamelessly show your favoritism , she added , I really want to know , Mom am I even your real daughter ? Tracys face turned red , and she looked a bit embarrassed .
She chewed on the corner of her mouth , as if she was about to say something but decided against it , unable to come up with a comeback Yet , underneath it all , she was still mad at Elaine , convinced that Elaine just didnt get it .
Tracy felt that Elaines unlikability was largely her own fault .
If she hadnt treated Bianca poorly and couldnt stand her presence , Elaine wouldnt be in this position To lighten the mood , Bianca quickly jumped in , her voice soft Okay , Elaine , Ill own up to it this time .
I shouldnt have said that before .
Elaine chuckled and replied , Glad you realized it Biancas eyes sparkled with thought , but she didnt say anything g more .
Meanwhile , Elaine shrugged off the drama , heading into the kitchen to dish out the food .
After all the snark , she felt way better than she had just moments profe .
Now , it was Tracy who was in a funk .
Did they really think Id still hold onto any fantasy about us being family ? Elaine shook her head , a sarcastic grin creeping onto her face .

Elaines WhatsApp lit up to show that she had successfully added Kingsley She quickly typed a message : [ Hey , Mr.

It was clear the needed to check in with Kingsley to get more details about Graces condition .
Meanwhile , Bianca watched Elaine send the message , a bit taken aback by the fancy phone she was using .
It looked like a custom model worth tens of thousands of dollars definitely not something Elaine could typically afford , especially since her parents had cut her allowance after the incident where she pushed Bianca into the pool .
Keeping her face neutral , Blanca quickly changed the subject to steer the conversation in a different direction .
Elaine , Mom and I need to talk to you about something pretty important this time Elaine replied .
Okay , go for it .
She was eager to see what Bianca had in store .
Last time , there was a big mix up because of what happened with Finley and me .
Bianca said .
Bianca wanted to make it clear that if Elaine hadnt misunderstood her relationship with Finley , their mom and brothers wouldnt have assumed Elaine pushed her into the pool over it .
Even though youre technically engaged to Finley , he doesnt really like you , and you cant force someone to love you .
Mom has set up a marriage for you , and if you go through with it , youll be living a good life .
If youre on board , we can get you engaged right now .
Just forget about the Scott family marriage , she continued .
if you publicly admit online that you were still crossing Oh really ! Elaine said , eyeing Bianca with a playful smirk .
I might consider it , but only if y the line with Finley while he and I were engaged .
What do you think ! a pretty tough ask .
Ive told you Biancas smile faded a bit as she heard Elaines request , but she still tried to keep it light , Come on , Elaine , thats a pre before , after you and Finley got engaged, there was nothing between us .
Elaine let out a sarcastic laugh .
Oh , come on ! Are you honestly expecting me to buy that ? At this point , it was true that Finley hadnt made any moves yet .
But considering what she knew about Bianca , there was no doubt that Blanca had some strong feelings for Finley .
Honestly , it was hard to believe that Bianca hadnt been secretly trying to seduce Finley .
The way they were acting right now was just too intimate it definitely crossed a line .
Later in the story , Finley couldnt help but feel attracted to Bianca .
As they started to overcome their obstacles and break the ice , Elaine became pretty irrelevant and was totally pushed aside .
